Robert T. Kiyosaki is best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. This is the #1
personal finance book of all time, which has challenged and changed the way tens of
millions of people around the world think about money.
He is an entrepreneur, educator, and investor who believes that each of us has the
power to makes changes in our lives, take control of our financial future, and live the
rich life we deserve.
With perspectives on money and investing that often contradict conventional wisdom,
Robert has earned an international reputation for straight talk, irreverence, and
courage and has become a passionate and outspoken advocate for financial education.
His point of view is that the old advice of "get a good job, save money, get out of
debt, invest for the long term, and diversify" is bad (both obsolete and flawed) advice.
This challenges the status quo. His assertion that "your house is not an asset" has
stirred controversy, but it has been proven to be accurate in our economy's current
financial crisis.
Kiyosaki is also the founder of the Rich Dad Company, a private financial education
company that provides personal finance and business education to people through
books and videos.
